PennDOT roadwork and maintenance projects continue across Pennsylvania through late 2026.

In the Philadelphia region, the $150 million Market Street Bridge reconstruction project involves a 14-month vehicular closure expected to last through October 2027. This phase requires SEPTA to detour six bus routes, though pedestrian and bicycle access remains. Relatedly, overnight closures on Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway) are scheduled from August 31 through September 4, with westbound closures on Monday and Tuesday nights and eastbound closures on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

In Montgomery and Delaware counties, a $63.7 million I-476 resurfacing project includes weeknight lane closures continuing through October for bridge repairs, guiderail installation, and pavement improvements. This project also includes two nights of ramp closures from I-76 to northbound I-476 between September 18 and September 20.

New disruptions include a 33-day full closure of the Route 65 bridge over Connoquenessing Creek in Beaver County, beginning September 21 and lasting until October 24. Swank Construction Company will use accelerated bridge construction techniques to install a new precast modular concrete structure.

Maintenance in Mifflin and Juniata counties for the week of August 31 includes bridge maintenance and cleaning on Route 22 and Route 322, shoulder maintenance on Route 103 and Route 22, and bridge maintenance on Route 2010. Previous projects included daytime closures on Newtown Street Road and College Avenue in Delaware County, and eastbound Interstate 80 lane closures in Jefferson County.
